Abstract
A large population of
Azorhizobium caulinodans
was present on
Sesbania rostrata
; up to 5 × 10
−5
cm
−2
were found on leaves and fewer were found on flowers. Although
A. caulinodans
was also present on the leaves of
Sesbania aculeata
(nonhost), the populations were much smaller than that observed on
S. rostrata
. The population of
S. aculeata
rhizobia on host leaves was less than 30 cm
−2
, and their presence on host flowers was sporadic.
Aeschynomene afraspera
and
Aeschynomene aspera
rhizobia, which are profusely stem nodulating, were found on the leaves of host and nonhost plants and on the flowers of host plants, but,
Aeschynomene pratensis
and
Aeschynomene sensitiva
rhizobia were not found on the leaves and flowers of host plants.
